## Remix featuring Dyland & Lenny

After the huge success of "Balada" in France starting April 2012, and attaining #1 in the SNEP charts in June 2012, and only after the single started descending from its top position in France, a new bilingual Portuguese/Spanish version was released in France and United States, with the new release credited to "Gusttavo Lima featuring Dyland & Lenny", being the Puerto-Rican reggaeton artists Carlos Castillo Cruz (known as Dyland) and Julio Manuel González Tavarez (known as Lenny).
The SNEP charts started crediting this bilingual version "Gusttavo Lima featuring Dyland & Lenny" on chart dated week-ending 30 July 2012, after crediting just Gusttavo Lima in all earlier charts.
The duo also has released earlier a version named "Balada Boa" crediting "Dyland & Lenny featuring Gusttavo Lima".
